I do want more! Would it be possible to make miniature figurines to go with the house?

[@GodBroly]

What is the grass you are shaking on? I can’t find anything that matches it

[@_nutella_]

now you need to make the fully upgraded house!

[@MikxPerson]

Not sure if you’ll see this, but I’m wondering if you do build streams. I feel like we would all love to watch you build these and also see the scope of effort you put into these videos. Who knows, maybe we might suggest things, that is if you don’t already stream. Also, you should put a faint watermark in the glamour shots, so if anyone reposts it or takes a screen-shot, they come to watch your epic videos!

It's a gorgeous miniature as well as a critique on the phenomenon of fragile masculinity in modern culture. My art degree is weeping with joy.

[@MeemahSN]

@@MorganMakesThings Some men think that things like this make them less masculine, but if you ask me I reckon it makes them MORE masculine, because it proves they can enjoy traditionally “girly” things without any issues, making them appear more confident and mature.

[@QuiniansBudgetCrafts]

"I just spend 3 hours painting sticks.. so that that look like.. sticks" lol I think we've all been there :D That is fantastic

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Sometimes the brown sticks you have aren't the right brown. Gotta improvise.

"I didn't use glue because they're already...sticky" That took me a moment.

[@mikeysrose]

@@b_e_a_n__4434 One of my boyfriend's favorite jokes is "What's brown and sticky?"

We all know that when you're producing art, you have to fabricate things to make them seem real, because somehow real isn't real enough.

[@TheHolm]

NotB and Stir Sticks: A true love/hate relationship. Also: Coffee shops hate this guy, watch now to see why.

[@NorthoftheBorder]

The hate part is obvious... I guess the love is... snapping them? I love snapping them and hearing tiny little stir stick screams (mostly in my head as I lose that last scrap of sanity).

[@TheHolm]

@@NorthoftheBorder Hmm, I guess I was wrong then. It's just that you use them, couldn't the same texture be achieved in a less troublesome way?

[@NorthoftheBorder]

@@TheHolm I only kid, I don't really feel much about them at all! They're great because they are pretty uniform in their size and shape, so it's good for regular build, and they're sturdy as well so they can hold weight and shape well. The only real complaint is that they're a pain to cut and because they're randomly coloured wood, they're a bit of a pain to paint!

Bricks, wood design, structure....glue...I don’t even own paint but I so want to try!

[@NorthoftheBorder]

Well there's lots more coming so don't worry about binging and running out of stuff to watch! And ya! This is a perfect one to try (especially if you don't do the insides)--it's squares and rectangles, and a few triangles, and can mostly be done with junk you definitely have lying around.
